The Russell Berrie Fellowship in Interreligious Studies

What is the Russell Berrie Fellowship in Interreligious Studies?

The Russell Berrie Fellowship targets priests, women religious, and members of the laity for the purpose of studying at the Angelicum to obtain a Licence Degree or a Diploma in Interreligious Studies. This program is a timely initiative at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum). The goal of the Fellowship Program is to build bridges between Christian, Jewish, and other religious traditions by providing the next generation of religious leaders with a comprehensive understanding of and dedication to interfaith issues.

What is included?

The award will provide one year of financial support for Russell Berrie Fellows to pursue a Licence Degree or a Diploma in Interreligious Studies at the Angelicum. It is intended to cover tuition, a modest living stipend, examination fees, a modest book allowance, and travel to and from the recipient's home country once a year.

Who can apply?

In order to be eligible to apply for a Russell Berrie Fellowship, candidates must first prove that they have gained or are eligible to gain admission to the Licence or Diploma in Interreligious Studies Program at the Angelicum.
